註釋This is the remarkable, forty-year saga of a courageous family's miraculous survival in the Congo during two devastating civil wars, the brutal rise and fall of the tyrant Mobutu and a desperate trek to safety. Georgette, a free-spirited, inquisitive tomboy, grows and makes a new life for herself in America. Josee, her responsible older sister, stays in the Congo and faces the latest oppressor, AIDS. Their father, Benoit, raises his daughters to believe in equality and to cherish education and freedom in a country wracked by intolerance, corruption and the oppression of women. This moving true account tells their story.
